Right . Someone had a look at it for me on Saturday and confirmed that it looked like the lift pump wasn't working . So I bought a new one on sat and fitted it yesterday AND ......... still nothing there does now appear to be diesel getting to the injector pump I think . Certainly if I loosen the breather screw on the fuel filter and pump the lift pump after a while some diesel does leak out . Also if i disconnect the feed pipe to the injector pump and then pump the lift pump after a while some diesel will start to drip through , although this does seem to be a bit varied , sometimes it comes through sometimes it doesn't Had a look at the solenoid on the back of the ip , mine has got what i can only describe as what looks like chewing gum all round the connection so i couldn't get it out easily . There is a bullet connector in between the connection from the pump and the engine . So i'm sort of guessing now its the Injector Pump as it does look like fuel is now getting up

Excellent, thanks for the advice I think with my limited knowledge I can probably do that . I know for a fact that the injectors aren't getting any diesel as the man from the AA told me that . In fact he also said that the lift pump didn't seem to be doing anything but then again to be honest i'm not sure how clued up on diesels he was It has done 128k I'm in Herts

Hi guys New to the forum and new to Range Rover Ownership . I have recently bought a K Reg 2500tdi . It had a problem when I first had it that it would smoke heavily when starting from cold and the revs would not rise over 800rpm for a few minuites . Then there would be a pop from the engine and it would clear and be fine . Then the other day it kept running after I had removed the key . Now it won't start at all A lot of people are advising that it could be either the stop solenoid on the injector pump , or the actual pump itself . Someone advised that if the solenoid is getting blocked its probably bits of metal from the pump braking up thats blocking it . My question is how easy is it to change the solenoid, bearing in mind that my spanner skills are pretty limited . Any help on how to do it or advice on what it might be would be greatfully recieved Stu
